Travels with Mum





Happy Mother's Day!

Most mornings you would be able to find us at a coffee shop with a cappuccino in front of me and a mocha in front of her, and journals out for some writing. This is the best way to start the day, as we rummaged our thoughts and let them spill onto pages from the previous day's adventures, which left us open to a fresh page for the new day.

Mum and I have been able to travel to some amazing, awe-inspiring places in the recent years. God has been so good to give us such trips. They have been true gifts. Iceland, Scotland, England, Wales, and Norway. These are not tiny trips, they span the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and venture into other languages and cultures. It is a dream to be able to visit some of the most beautiful countries in the world. I may be a little biased, of course. Getting to visit places in the world mum would never venture to see is a joy for me to experience. These are adventures special and treasured.

I love to see my mum awaken with a childlike sense of awe and wonder when we travel, especially to new places she hasn't seen yet. These nature scenes and architectural sites of beauty we get to visit. We take in the sights and sigh with the ultimate feeling of blessing. 

Exploring depths of imagination and thinking is essential when I travel, and I "force" her to enjoy it as well. Things such as - author talks, book events, literature related history and visits. She tags along and realizes that she enjoys the sessions immensely. 

We will gladly catch the next GWR train out of Paddington Station (as we did here to go to Oxford from London) and to many other stunning towns. So, where are we going next, mum?
